If I had to pick up on something I don't quite like it's the Tyrell's. They are trying to make out as if Margaery is some kind of a player, when she really is not. She is a pawn. As for her brother, he has been presented as too dull and weak so far. They should roughen him up a bit and make him more believable as the prodigy Knight he is in the books.

Why did they see a need to make him gay. I have read the first book and only started the second. Maybe something in the second book refers to the relationship between he and Renly Baratheon, but unless I missed something in the first book he seemed to be a ladies man. Well, he was really only mentioned in the hand's tourney if I remember right. I guess because he is the Knight of flowers that makes him gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

The Loras-Renly relationship has been really played up from book to show but Margaery is definitely not a pawn as she proves in later books. Don't wanna get into spoilers but she definitely has her eyes on the prize and will do anything to get it.

As I was reading more of the synopsis I began to realize how twisted this series is. Just the way I like it. Everyone and everybody suffers in their own way and go through a great deal of hardship. No wonder they called it the dark ages...

There's so many various plots interwoven with one another. Danaerys has actually peaked my interest a lot more now with her babies. Pretty cool stuff!

They've introduced a ton of new characters this season. Anyone else thought that the high priestess was Melisandre.

I never noticed the gaydom in the books either. Maybe I skipped those parts and didn't realize it but there weren't any bj's that's for sure.

Sort of screwed up that they made the Knight of Flowers a queer since he kicks so much ass later on. When reading the book I thought I was reading about the wrong guy

She is?

The Renly/Loras was subtley insinuated in the books, nothing was ever said outright though. Loras was a ladies man in the respect that he was supposedly extremely handsome, so the ladies flocked to him.

How, in the series, they decided to make them have a gay relationship, but not even MENTION the fact that Renly's Kingsguard was called the freakin RAINBOW GUARD is beyond me. Come on people

Very weird seeing Tywin/Arya interecting as well, they never even met in the books.

Margaery vs Cersei catfight is epic.

In A Clash Of Kings she wasn't a player at all. Mace Tyrell married her away to Renly and she didn't have any say in the matter. She tries to become a player later on in the books, but imo she never is. A player that is being played is not a player. There are only a handful of players in the Seven Kingdoms.

It's been a few years since I read the second book,

but wasn't Arya Lord Boltons cupbearer in Harrenhall at this point? Not Tywins?

She was given to a steward called Weese. A very very minor character, and she uses her first 'death' from Jaqen, for him, as he beat her. Later Arya killed the tickler herself, not Jaqen, so it's a bit random
